Ochnaceae is a

phylogenetic study that was published in 2014, Ochnaceae was recognized in the broad sense,[5] but two works published after APG III have accepted the small families Medusagynaceae and Quiinaceae.[4][6]
These have not been accepted by APG IV (2016).

In this article, "Ochnaceae" will refer to the larger

sensu lato or as the ochnoids.[7] In this sense the family includes 32 genera with about 550 species.[8]

Ochnaceae, defined broadly or narrowly, is pan

tropical Africa.[5] It consists mostly of shrubs and small trees, and, in Sauvagesia, a few herbaceous species. Many are treelets, with a single, erect trunk, but low in height. The Ochnaceae are notable for their unusual leaves. These are usually shiny, with closely spaced, parallel veins, toothed margins, and conspicuous stipules. Most of the species are buzz pollinated.[9] In eight of the genera in tribe Sauvagesieae, the flower changes form after opening, by continued growth of tissue within the flower.[5]

A few species of Ochna are cultivated as ornamentals.[10] Ochna thomasiana is probably the most commonly planted, but it is often misidentified in the horticultural literature.[11]

The leaves of Cespedesia are sometimes to 1 m (3.3 ft) in length and are used for roofing.[12] An herbal tea is made from the pantropical weed Sauvagesia erecta.

A great many

s.s.[4] In that same year, a 33rd genus, Neckia, was reestablished in order to preserve the monophyly of another genus, Sauvagesia.[5]

The largest genera in Ochnaceae are: Ouratea (200 species), Ochna (85), Campylospermum (65), Sauvagesia (39), and Quiina (34).

intergenic spacer, only nine species were sampled from this subfamily.[17]

Classification

Until near the end of the 20th century, Ochnaceae was regarded as a rather odd family, difficult to place with a high degree of certainty. Even into the 21st century, some

rosid order Crossosomatales.[23]

More rarely, the genus

Molecular phylogenetic studies have strongly supported the inclusion of Diegodendron in the rosid order Malvales, and it is sometimes treated as a monospecific family therein.[24] Otherwise, it has been placed in Bixaceae, though there is reason to suspect that it might be closer to Sphaerosepalaceae.[23]

All of the genera mentioned above, as well as Ochnaceae, were long regarded as

asterid order Ericales.[23]

In 2012, an analysis of

sister to a group of five families known as the clusioids.[6] This result had only weak bootstrap support. The clusioids were once regarded as a group of four families,[25] but Clusiaceae was divided in 2009[7] and the name Calophyllaceae was resurrected for one of the resulting segregates.[2][26]

There are only a few

unite the clusioids with Ochnaceae. The petal aestivation is often contort in the clusioids, and usually so in Ochnaceae. In both groups, the flowers usually bear numerous stamens, and in the ovary, the placentation is mostly axile. In the ovules, the nucellus is often thin, and the outer integument is usually thicker than the inner.[27]

Taxonomy

Ochnaceae is divided into three subfamilies: Medusagynoideae, Quiinoideae, and Ochnoideae.[5]

A molecular phylogenetic study resolved Medusagynoideae and Quiinoideae as

styles radiate outward from the ovary. At anthesis, the ovary is sculpted with longitudinal ribs.[28]

Medusagynoideae consists of a single species, Medusagyne oppositifolia. It is

endemic to the island of Mahé in the Seychelles.[29]

Quiinoideae comprises about 48 species in four genera: Froesia, Quiina, Touroulia, and Lacunaria. It is restricted to

tropical America.[30] Froesia is distinct from the other three genera. Its flowers are always bisexual, and the fruit consists of three structures that resemble follicles
, except that they are not quite entirely separate from each other.

The subfamily Ochnoideae was revised in 2014 as Ochnaceae

sensu stricto.[4] In that treatment, 27 genera were described. An additional genus, Neckia, was resurrected in that same year, based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study.[5]
Amaral and Bittrich (2014) divided Ochnoideae into three tribes: Luxemburgieae, Sauvagesieae, and Ochneae. The genus Testulea was included in the tribe Sauvagesieae. No subtribes were recognized.

In 2014, a second reclassification of Ochnoideae was published, based on

paraphyletic
over Luxemburgieae.

Testulea consists of a single species, Testulea gabonensis, that is endemic to

fertile. The others are modified into staminodes and united
into a column for up to 2⁄3 of their length.

The tribe Luxemburgieae consists of two genera: Philacra and Luxemburgia. Philacra is native to Venezuela and northern Brazil. Luxemburgia is from Brazil.

The tribe Sauvagesieae is pantropical in distribution, and consists of 16 genera, most of them small. The largest, by far, is Sauvagesia, with 38 species, 35 of which are restricted to the

neotropics.[12] Sauvagesia is heterogeneous, and might be paraphyletic, even with Neckia removed from it. Relationships in the tribe Sauvagesieae are not well understood, and for this reason, it has not been divided into subtribes.[5]

The tribe Ochneae is found in most of the tropics, but is most abundant in Africa and tropical America. It is distinguished from the rest of Ochnoideae by the absorption of the endosperm before the seed reaches maturity. Its nine genera belong to three subtribes: Lophirinae, Elvasiinae, and Ochninae.[5]

The subtribe Lophirinae consists of a single genus, Lophira. It has two species, both confined to tropical Africa. It produces an unusual fruit, in which two of the sepals become greatly

seed distribution by wind
.

The subtribe Elvasiinae consists of two genera, Perissocarpa and Elvasia, both confined to the American tropics. Perissocarpa has never been sampled for a molecular phylogenetic study.

The subtribe Ochninae consists of six genera: Campylospermum, Ouratea, Idertia, Brackenridgea, Rhabdophyllum, and Ochna. The largest of these, Ouratea, is confined to the

maximum likelihood analysis.[5]
Idertia and Brackenridgea are probably sister genera, but no other relationships have been resolved among the genera of Ochninae.

Phylogeny

The

Maximum likelihood bootstrap support is > 75%, except where indicated. Perissocarpa and Indosinia have not been sampled for DNA. Their placement on the phylogenetic tree is based on anatomy and morphology
only.

Evolution

The

angiosperms.[31] Secondary apocarpy is especially rare and has arisen most notably in Rosaceae, Apocynaceae, Sapindales, and Malvales.[13]

The flowers are actinomorphic in Medusagyne and Quiinoideae, but in Ochnoideae,

ancestral condition. In Testulea, Philacra, and Luxemburgia, the flowers develop zygomorphically in the bud. But in the four basal clades of Sauvagesieae, comprising the genera Blastemanthus, Godoya, Rhytidanthera, Krukoviella, Cespedesia, Fleurydora, Poecilandra, and Wallacea, the flowers develop actinomorphically in the bud, then become zygomorphic after opening by growth
of certain parts of the flower. Such late zygomorphy is very rare in flowering plants. In the remaining, fifth clade of Sauvagesieae, comprising the genera Neckia, Schuurmansia, Schuurmansiella, Euthemis, Tyleria, Adenarake, Indosinia, and Sauvagesia, the flowers remain actinomorphic after anthesis. In the tribe Ochneae, all of the species have actinomorphic flowers.

In the subtribe Ochninae, and in the genus Froesia, the components of the ovary (carpels) are very shortly united at the base. Otherwise, the ovary in Ochnaceae is syncarpous, consisting of carpels that are completely fuzed.

In Medusagyne and Quiinoideae, many of the flowers are unisexual, except in Froesia, where they are strictly hermaphrodite. In Ochnoideae, unisexual flowers are limited to a clade consisting of Schuurmansia, Schuurmansiella, and Euthemis.[5]

In Medusagyne and Quiinoideae, as in most angiosperms, the

sister
genus, Wallacea, the anthers open by longitudinal slits.

In the rest of Sauvagesieae, anther dehiscence is various. In Schuurmansia, Schuurmansiella, and Adenarake, the anther dehiscence is apically

androecium is wrapped in petaloid staminodes, so that the pollen
can escape from only the apex of the anther. This is known as a poricidal system because it functions as if the anthers were truly poricidal.

In the tribe Ochneae, anther dehiscence by longitudinal slits is restricted to Brackenridgea and a few species of Ochna.

Testulea is peculiar in having only one

fertile stamen. Its anther opens by an apical pore. The other stamens are modified into sterile
staminodes that are fuzed into a column for up to 2⁄3 of their length.

In the genera Froesia and Quiina, and in the tribe Ochneae, the

paraphyletic
over Ochneae because it would contain Testulea, Philacra, and Luxemburgia.

The number of

carpel
varies widely in Ochnaceae. Medusagyne and Quiinoideae have two ovules per carpel. In Testulea and in a clade of four genera in Sauvagesieae (Godoya, Rhytidanthera, Krukoviella, and Cespedesia), the number of ovules is 100 to 200 per carpel. For the remainder of Sauvagesieae, except Euthemis, and for Philacra and Luxemburgia, the number of ovules per carpel ranges from four to 50. Euthemis has two ovules per carpel.

In Ochneae, Lophira has 4 to 50 ovules per carpel. In the subtribes Elvasiinae and Ochninae, the number of ovules per carpel is one.

History

The family Ochnaceae was erected by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1811.[32][33] At that time, he described Elvasia, a new genus in the family, and he included three others: Ochna, Walkera, and Gomphia.[34] Walkera was described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1789, but is no longer recognized. Its type species was described as Gomphia serrata by Andrias Kanis in 1968,[35] but it is now placed in the genus Campylospermum.[citation needed] Gomphia has long been a source of confusion[36] and it was not recognized in the most recent revision of Ochnaceae.[4]

Godoya and Sauvagesia were known in 1811, when de Candolle erected the family Ochnaceae, but he placed them in other families. In his Prodromus, he placed Godoya in the family that would later be known as Clusiaceae.[37] He regarded Lauradia (Lavradia) as separate from Sauvagesia, and placed both of them in Violaceae. He added the genus Castela to Ochnaceae, but it is now part of Simaroubaceae.[38] De Candolle believed that Simaroubaceae was closely related to Ochnaceae, but it is now placed in the order Sapindales.[23] A few authors placed Godoya, Sauvagesia, and others in the family Sauvagesiaceae, until the beginning of the 21st century.[22] Other authors, such as Adolf Engler, included them in Ochnaceae.

In 1874, Engler divided Ochnaceae into two groups, based on the absence or presence of

paraphyletic and consists of the tribes Testuleeae, Luxemburgieae, and Sauvagesieae. In 1876, in a flora of Brazil, Engler described many new species in Ochnaceae, especially in its largest genus, Ouratea.[40] He described 85 species in Ouratea, 17 of which he named
as new species at that time. He also transferred 63 species to Ouratea from other genera.

The genera Quiina and Touroulia had been known since 1775, when they were described by

valid publication of a botanical name. The name Quiinaceae was validated by Engler in Flora Brasiliensis in 1888.[33][43]

The genus Medusagyne had been described by John Gilbert Baker in 1877, in a flora of Mauritius and the Seychelles,[44] but it was not until 1924 that it was segregated into its own monogeneric family.[45]

In 1893, Ernest Friedrich Gilg covered Ochnaceae, and Adolf Engler covered Quiinaceae for the first edition of Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien.[46][47] Engler wrote a description of Medusagyne in a supplement to the first edition of DNP in 1897.[48] He placed Medusagyne under the heading "Zweifelhafte, möglicherweise zu den Guttiferae gehörige Gattung" (Doubtful, possibly a genus belonging to Guttiferae). Guttiferae is an obsolete name for Clusiaceae.

In 1902,

Philippe van Tieghem recognized six families in what is now the subfamily Ochnoideae.[49] These were Luxemburgiaceae, Sauvagesiaceae, Wallaceaceae, Euthemidaceae, Lophiraceae, and Ochnaceae. Three of these, (Wallaceaceae, Euthemidaceae, and Lophiraceae) were monogeneric and were erected by van Tieghem at that time. His Luxemburgiaceae included the basal clades of what is now the tribe Sauvagesieae. Van Tieghem named a great many genera in 1902, circumscribing them very narrowly. In what is now the subtribe
Ochninae, he delineated 53 genera. The most recent revision of that group divides it into six genera.

In 1925, for the second edition of DNP, Engler and Gilg expanded on their treatment of Quiinaceae and Ochnaceae, respectively, compared to what they had written in 1893.[50][51] Medusagynaceae was covered in the same volume of DNP by Adolf Engler and Hans Melchior.[52]

For the second edition of DNP, Engler recognized two genera, Quiina and Touroulia, in Quiinaceae. Lacunaria and Froesia were discovered later and named in 1925 and 1948, respectively.

In that same volume, Gilg divided his Ochnaceae (equivalent to modern Ochnoideae) into 21 genera, including Indovethia, Leitgebia, Vausagesia, and Lauradia (as Lavradia), which are now regarded as

botanical exploration at that time. Gilg placed Rhytidanthera in synonymy under Godoya, but Rhytidanthera is accepted today. He included Campylospermum and Rhabdophyllum in Gomphia and placed Gomphia in synonymy under Ouratea. In his revision of Ochnaceae, Gilg provided a summary of van Tieghem's classification, as well as his own.[51] Three of van Tieghem's genera, (Campylospermum, Rhabdophyllum, and Rhytidanthera) are still recognized today.[4]

In 1968,

papers from 1970 to 2003.[5]

In 1991, a

ribosomal ITS.[5] Seventy-nine species of Ochnaceae were sampled and a new classification was presented. Also, Testulea was removed from the tribe Sauvagesieae, and placed in the monotypic
tribe Testuleeae.
